After a truck accident, the A1 is closed between Ybbs and Amstetten-Ost. According to the ÖAMTC, the closure should last at least until 3 p.m. Because the truck was loaded with cucumbers, many of them rolled around on the highway.
A semi-trailer truck loaded with cucumbers overturned in an accident on Tuesday on the Westautobahn (A1) towards Salzburg near Neumarkt an der Ybbs (Melk district) and remained lying across all three lanes at right angles to the direction of travel. The result was a blockage between Ybbs and Amstetten-Ost – and numerous cucumbers on the road. For at least two hours, there was a kilometer-long traffic jam. “The motorway will remain closed for at least two hours,” said an ÖAMTC spokesman. According to initial information, no one was injured, the police said upon request. According to information, the accident occurred around 1 p.m. There was initially no information about the cause.
